This is located at UBC and is quite a trip on the bus and then bit of a walk to get there. It is however pretty cool and has lots of original pieces that give you a feel for the BC of 300 years ago.

We had a wonderful docent who gave a very informative and interesting tour---kudos to her! The history and exhibits were so interesting. It was a very pleasant way to spend a few hours.

A wonderful museum to visit and enjoy artifacts from around the world, but especially from First Nations.

Loved this place, a really cool outing. Go on a rainy day as you will want to stay for hours. Amazing artifacts not only from BC but all over the world. Gave me a bit of the travel bug.
